Most men I know don't even own a tv? They are either into computers, photography, cars, guns, sports, etc? Most of the men I've met are usually much more active than any women I've meet that watch tons of tv including cooking shows like foodnetwork.?????

Only one comment here - men are INTO guns? yep we can sure see that with all of the innocent women, children and yes even other men being killed by MEN with GUNS.

Hmmm where do their reports come from?

"Can you please provide the link to this, it will be good ammo for future reference."

Here you go:

Report:
A Culture of False Allegations: How VAWA Harms Families and Children

Press Release:
One Million False Allegations of Domestic Violence Each Year, Report Finds

The organization that put these out is called "Respecting Accuracy In Domestic Abuse Reporting" (RADAR).

If I were you, I would be careful to avoid making any public assertions of fact based on the above report, simply because the source -- RADAR in this case -- is an advocacy organization and therefore by definition is biased. (You wouldn't trust the Tobacco Institute's reports about the safety of tobacco, would you?)

So if you do quote RADAR's report, you should be careful to describe it as "indicative" or "suggestive", rather than "authoritative" or "dispositive".

RADAR is biased towards men, because men have a more powerful voice. One simply need to look at our government and businesses to see that. And gentle readers don't you just LOVE how Knock Kncok gets around the fact that this group is for men?

Comments please! (oh and those from mysogynistic men will be deleted without question or comment, unless they are just so dam good and they create another post). Oh but that would be nearly all of them lol.....

Dad who beats mom will not beat children?

An alienator may assume that if a parent had been physically abusive with him or her, it follows that the parent will assault the child. This assumption is not always true.

I guess Stuart does not read reports by the American Psychological Association, specifically the report entitled Violence in the Family: Report of the American Psychological Association Presidential Task Force on Violence and the Family written in 1996 which states:

•40 to 60 percent of men who abuse their wife or girlfriend also abuse their children

I don't know about Stuart, but I do not think I would be risking any child with 40-60% odds. Would you?
